245 more illegal
structures razed
Ludhiana, February 27 The building branch of the MC has been removing encroachments from the Jawahar Nagar camp area on the orders of the Punjab and Haryana High Court. According to the action plan prepared by the MC, there were 229 encroachments in the Jawahar Nagar camp area, which were to be removed in a phased manner on February 26, 27 and 28, and March 5 and 6. A senior official of the MC said though officially 229 encroachments had been identified, in reality, the number was much more. The MC had started the demolition drive in the Jawahar Nagar camp area yesterday. Fearing that their encroachements would also be removed, some residents had started removing the encroachments on their own. When one such family was removing an encroachment, a portion of a wall fell on a woman standing nearby, injuring her. Residents of the area tried to blame MC officials for the incident. They raised slogans and tried to disrupt the drive. The injured woman was taken to a hospital. An MC official said it was wrong on the part of the area residents to blame the civic body since it was in no way involved in this incident. Assistant
Town Planner Rajinder Sharma said more than 360 encroachments were razed
in the first two days alone (115 yesterday and around 245 today). “Our
drive will continue tomorrow and we will make sure that all
encroachments are removed from this area,” he said.

Gas agency employee
robbed of Rs 3.3 lakh
Ludhiana, February 27 What caused more embarrassment to the police is the fact that just an hour before the incident, the police had introduced 80 new PCR motorcycles to keep tabs on snatchers. Surinder Kumar (50), a cashier with Dewan Gas Agency, said he was on his way to a bank to deposit cash. As soon as he reached Street No. 7, Deep Nagar, four youths riding two motorcycles intercepted him. Before he could react, one of the robbers stabbed him. He tried to fend off the attack, but received a cut on his hand. In the meantime, another robber pushed him and he lost control over the scooter and fell on the road, said Surinder. In no time, the snatchers fled with the scooter. He said the cash was kept in the glove box of the scooter. An eyewitness said he heard some noise from the street and spotted Surinder with a wounded hand, but could not see the robbers. Surinder reportedly called the owner of the gas agency and then the police control room for help. “Surinder
has been working with the agency for nearly 30 years; he used to often
carry huge cash," said Bharat Dewan, owner of Dewan Gas Agency. However, the robbery incident has come under a "cloud of doubt". The street remains chock-a-block during the day, but strangely there are no eyewitnesses to the incident. The police is currently scanning CCTV cameras installed in the street to find a clue. Commissioner of Police Ishwar Singh has not ruled out foul play in the incident. He said the robbery could be a concocted story to usurp money. However, the cashier's statement was recorded and the police has started an investigation. |

City police gets 80
advanced motorcycles to combat crime
Ludhiana, February 27 The new PCR motorcycles were formally inducted into the force during a ceremony organised at the Police Lines. Commissioner of Police Ishwar Singh said the initiative was part of the modernisation of the city police. "The credit for introducing the new vehicles in the Police Department goes to the DGP, who had laid emphasis on improving the mode of transport for officials for effective policing," said Ishwar Singh. Equipped with LED flickering lights, a hooter and a GPS device, a PCR motorcycle can be tracked from the control room. Besides, policemen have been given revolvers, batons and fluorescent safety jackets. These bikes will be deployed at important locations, including banks, educational institutions and hospitals. "The primary function of the PCR motorcycle fleet will be to keep tabs on snatching incidents and other petty offences, which spread panic among residents," said the Commissioner of Police. He said policemen had been trained to identify suspects in a crowd. "We have dedicated 10 motorcycles and four police SUVs for "quick response" in cases concerning crimes against women," he said. He said 67 old mobikes would be sent back to the Home Department in Chandigarh. |

Despite ban, sale of
gutka continues
Ludhiana, February 27 A team of the Health Department had yesterday collected six samples of gutka and pan masala from shops in different areas. Vendors continue to sell these products with impunity. Saroja
Thakur, a roadside gutka seller in the Model Town area, said, ”I have
this iron box in the name of a shop. I do not sit at one place. So, why
should I fear anybody?” A roadside vendor, who was selling gutka in
the Ghumar Mandi area at twice the rate mentioned on the pouches, said,
”A ban on any product means that you can sell it illegally at a
premium. By collecting a few samples, the sale of these products will
not stop. We have enough stock and there are many buyers, who throng our
shops.” Under the law, we can only collect samples and seal their stock. We collect samples of gutka so that strict action can be taken against violators. However, there is no foolproof method to check the sale of these products. We cannot fine these violators (sellers) like we do in case of those smoking at public
places. — Dr Avinash Kumar, District Health Officer, Ludhiana |
property tax
Ludhiana, February 27 The members, including all local MLAs and a representative of the local MP, have rued that leave aside the agenda for tomorrow's meeting, they had still not been sent (by 8 pm) the "updated" list of property zones. It is pertinent to mention that yesterday also, when a hearing of objections regarding property zones was started, the members had expressed unhappiness as the replies of all the objections were already prepared. For the levying of property tax on the city residents, the city would be divided into eight property zones, which would be decided by the zoning committee headed by the Director of Local Government Department and having the MP, MLAs, Mayor, Senior Deputy Mayor, Deputy Mayor, nominee of Deputy Commissioner (not below the rank of SDM) and MC Commissioner as its members. These zones would be decided on the basis of civic amenities in the area, location of the property and the market value of the property. A meeting in this regard was held at the Zone A office at Mata Rani Chowk, where the members had raised several objections. Once these property zones are finalised, the Unit Valuation Committee, headed by the Deputy Commissioner and having the MP, MLAs, the Mayor and the MC Commissioner as its members, would decide the "unit value" of the buildings and land for each property zone. This would be calculated on the basis of the prevalent price of land, cost of construction and rental value. While speaking to The Tribune, Akali MLA Simarjit Singh Bains stated that by 8 pm, he had neither been sent the proceedings of yesterday's meeting, neither did he receive the agenda for tomorrow's meeting. "I received a call at 7:30 pm that the minutes would be sent soon but till 8 pm, I have not got anything. Even the agenda for tomorrow's meeting has not been sent," he confirmed. Similarly, Congress MLA Bharat Bhushan Ashu said: "I was asked by an MC official that when I receive the proceedings, I should check it, sign it and return in 10 minutes. How can I take such a decision hastily when I know that once the property zones are fixed, they won't be changed?" Another Congress MLA Surinder Dawar said if he was not satisfied by the proceedings of yesterday's property zoning committee meeting, he might boycott tomorrow's meeting. "The MC Commissioner should understand that we will not tolerate such things," he maintained. Akali MLA Ranjit Singh Dhillon said he had just received an invitation regarding tomorrow's meeting. Parminder Mehta, representative of the local MP and Information and Broadcasting Minister Manish Tewari, and Congress MLA Rakesh Pandey, said he would not take any decision regarding the zoning committee proceedings in haste. "We are the representatives of the city residents and the MC Commissioner, who is also the member secretary of both the committees, should not take any decision alone. He should make sure everything is discussed in detail," he said. A senior MC official claimed that almost all the senior officials spent the entire day today finalising the list of property zones. "We have to make sure all areas are kept in the right zone so that residents don't suffer," he said.

Punjabi cinema going
through renaissance period, says actor
Ludhiana, February 27 He said Punjabi cinema is going through renaissance period, as there are 58 Punjabi movies being produced currently, which almost equals the total number of Punjabi movies made as yet. Dey along with actors Lakhwinder Singh, Swaraj Ghumman and singer Ashmita Garg interacted with students regarding the movie O.G.J at Ramgarhia Girls College. He said that this still is the initial phase of renaissance and the cinema has to cater to the popular demand to find its feet. Once firmly established, people can experiment and make movies for mature audience with thematic treatment of the movies for serious cinema-lovers, Dey said. But as of now, the movies have to cater to the popular demand, he said, and that currently is For this reason, even the issues being touched in movies, are presented in an entertaining manner. "The maximum audience as of now is 'mundheer' (young men and boys). But the establishment of the industry, more mature and serious cinema would be created, as both the content and the audience matures," he says. For example, Anhey Ghore da Daan, which was acclaimed internationally, a Punjabi movie, dealing with the issues of Punjab, didn't do well with the audience at large, he said. He says that theatre in Punjab has made little difference, as it is mostly the singers who have been getting preference as lead roles. Although they are pulling the crowds and the movies are doing well, singers can act only to an extent and the cinema doesn't achieve the height it could have achieved,
he adds. But with the movies doing well, it would have positive impact on Punjabi theatre. As people watch movies more in Punjabi language, it would indirectly benefit Punjabi theatre as well, he said. As more money is coming into the industry with the revival of the cinema, it would give benefit cinema and theatre as well, which would further help better the movies.

Budget condemned
Reacting to the Union Rail Budget the district unit of the Communist Party of India has said that increase in the surcharge on bookings will lead to automatic increase in the rail fare for the passengers; so is the rise in the cancellation fee. Therefore, it is an indirect burden on the people. Moreover, no steps have been taken to improve the working for the railways particularly the condition of the coaches in the ordinary sleeper class. Condition of the stations have not been given due importance. Security has also been ignored by and large. Freight charges increase will lead to excess burden on the people. Speaker’s

and hence promote it. They should become a source of inspiration for the
coming generations as well," said Charanjit Singh Atwal, speaker,
